The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

If you invested your money with Jon Corzine, tough luck, he "borrowed" it, and then he lost it
Some Democrats never learn — sooner or later you always run out of other people's money.
A federal official says MF Global, the securities firm led by former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, admitted to using clients' money as its financial troubles mounted.
An MF Global executive admitted that to federal regulators in a phone call early Monday after regulators discovered money missing from clients' accounts, according to an official familiar with the conversation.
MF Global, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, faced a cash crunch following multibillion-dollar bets on European sovereign debt.
An announcement late Monday by the CFTC and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said that there was money missing from "customer futures segregated accounts" held by MF Global, a broker-dealer and futures trader.
Shades of Bernie Madoff, eh? Corzine was a little low on cash, and hey look!, there's a whole lotta cash over there! So, if you invested your money with Jon Corzine you might want to consider a fallback position, because your money is gone.
Normal people call what Corzine did "stealing." And then those people go to jail. But Jon Corzine ain't normal people; he's a Democrat, and a Friend of Barry. A Big Friend of Barry. The most he'll face are some nebulous "civil penalties."
Government rules require securities firms to keep clients' money and company money in separate accounts. Violating them could result in civil penalties.
Paul Fishman, our Democrats-aren't-criminals U.S. Attorney, would never prosecute Jon Corzine.
And, if Barry manages to get re-elected, it might result in Corzine being
named Secretary of the Treasury. Then Jon can really cash in. But will he ever
make his investors whole? Don't count on it.
